Wake up at 6:00 AM and enjoy your complimentary breakfast at the restaurant at 6:30 AM. After breakfast, meet your guide and porters.
At 7:00 AM, your driver will transfer you to Sembalun Village (1,150 m), a journey of approximately 45 minutes. Upon arrival, check in at the Mount Rinjani National Park office before starting your trek.
After check-in, begin your trek toward Post 1 (1,300 m). The trail starts with a gentle ascent across open grasslands traditionally used by local communities for cattle grazing. After approximately 1.5 hours of walking, you will reach Post 1, where you can enjoy a short 10–15 minute break with drinks and snacks provided by your guide.
Continue trekking to Post 2 (1,500 m), approximately 1 hour from Post 1. The trail is relatively easy, with gentle ascents and descents.
At Post 2, enjoy a lunch break and rest for about 2 hours before continuing the trek.
After lunch and a rest at Post 2, continue the trek to Post 3 (1,800 m). The trail features several gentle ups and downs, and it takes about 1 hour.
After a short break, continue the ascent to Post 4 (2,000 m), a steady uphill hike of approximately 1 hours.
Take a short break at Post 4 to catch your breath and enjoy some biscuits.
After a break at Post 4, we continue the hike with a steady 1.5–2-hour ascent to the Crater Rim (2,640 m), passing Regret Hill.
The ascent from Post 3 to the Crater Rim is the most challenging section of Day 1
After 7–8 hours of trekking on Day 1, we reach the Crater Rim campsite, where our team has already set up the tents and prepared food and drinks. Enjoy dinner and spend the night here while taking in the spectacular mountain views.
Be prepared to sleep early, as you'll wake up at 2:00 AM for the challenging ascent to the summit.
Wake up at 2:00 AM for a light breakfast before starting the summit ascent.
Begin the trek to the SUMMIT (3,726 m), the toughest part of the Rinjani trek. The climb usually takes 2.5–3 hours, depending on your pace, as you navigate steep volcanic terrain on the way to the top.
After the first 15 minutes of hiking, you'll encounter the first major obstacle—a steep sandy slope with an elevation of around 45 degrees. This demanding section typically takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Afterward, the trail becomes a relatively easy, steady uphill climb until you reach the final challenging section of the ascent.
After a 1 hour 30 minute walk through the previous section, you'll reach the final challenge of the summit ascent. Many trekkers find this section the most difficult, as the last 400 meters involve a steep 45-degree climb over loose rock, gravel, and volcanic sand, where every step forward can feel like half a step back.
Always follow your guide, don't hesitate to ask for help, and listen carefully to their instructions.
After approximately 3 hours of climbing, you will reach the summit and enjoy one of the most spectacular views in Indonesia. From the top, take in panoramic vistas across Lombok, the Gili Islands, Mount Agung, and Mount Tambora.
After taking photos and enjoying the summit views, you will begin the descent back to the crater rim campsite. The descent typically takes around 1.5–2 hours, depending on your pace.
After returning from the summit, enjoy a breakfast prepared by your porters and take some time to rest at the campsite. Once ready, begin the descent to Sembalun, which takes approximately 5–6 hours, including a lunch break along the way.
At approximately 3:00 PM, you will arrive at the village. Your driver will then take you to the National Park office for check-out. Afterward, you will be transferred to our office before continuing to your next destination.
